About this helicopter

• The Rooivalk[wiki.warthunder.com] is a survivable helicopter with good performance characteristics. It carries the formidable Mokopa air-to-ground missile that has a tandem warhead and the FZ49 HEAT rockets which can be fired accurately thanks to a ballistic computer. In addition to this, this helicopter can fire the Mistral air-to-air missile with an all-aspect IR seeker, which can lock targets at a distance of 6 km. In close air engagements or to fire at ground targets, a reliable 20 mm cannon can also be used!
